CentOS - Apr 2009 - centos 5.3 upgrade and duplicate processes running

Hi,

I have a P4 3.2 linux server.

Every since I upgrade to centos 5.3 I see duplicates when running top - 
c like:

3 root 34 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.13 [ksoftirqd/0]
4 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [watchdog/0]
5 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [migration/1]
6 root 34 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.64 [ksoftirqd/1]
7 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [watchdog/1]
8 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.03 [events/0]
9 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.12 [events/1]
10 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [khelper]
11 root 11 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [kthread]
15 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:02.17 [kblockd/0]
16 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:03.28 [kblockd/1]
17 root 17 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [kacpid]
90 root 16 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [cqueue/0]
91 root 16 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [cqueue/1]
94 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [khubd]
96 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [kseriod]
160 root 15 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:12.92 [pdflush]
161 root 15 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:21.17 [pdflush]

I don't have watchdog installed either.

It seems my load has also gone up

How would I fix this so there are not duplicates running?

You have a dual core machine... Those duplicated processes are per CPU
kernel threads...

This is entirely normal and was exactly the same on centos 5.2 before the
upgrade...

The only way to make the duplicates go away is to use a single core single
processor...

You have a habit of reasking your questions again and again. Please stop 
this!

What was wrong with the answers you got when you asked the same thing a
week earlier?
